Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Cradlewell: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do you work in Cradlewell?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Cradlewell from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When to call us in Cradlewell
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Gaps in the seal
- Leaks at the edges
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black spots in the silicone
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the colour is matched
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Cradlewell
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What affects the price in Cradlewell
